DAY 1: tuesday is the new friday in norway

I swear Norwegians don't have to work on Wednesdays. It's just not physically possible by the way I watched them throw down and pound beers like a Georgia v. Florida game circa '06. These vikings know how to drank. They also know every word to Lion King's The Circle of Life, which was sung with straight-up zest by a Nordic, red-headed JT. I had mad respect.

Meanwhile... my Dad and I attempted to blend in amongst a sea of blondes. #sorethumbs #italian

We stayed at This Airbnb on the edge of Kristiansand, drank the local beer (made with artesian water!) and ate the famous fish soup. Also took in the fact that the sun did not set until well after 10- long nights for a very short summer. No wonder these Norwegians were livin' life...it's about to be the dead of night for the next nine months! #scandavianproblems #southbendproblems
